294 Europe 1655 Part (1/2)

October 30th, 1655

The news of the Dakshin Bharatiya Empire conquering the region of Gujarat eventually reached the ears of various European countries.

Holy Roman Empire

Ferdinand III of the Holy Roman Empire had grown weaker due to illnesses and diseases. His body had already become very thin and frail. It seemed unlikely that he would last even a few more years in his current state.

Upon hearing the news from the Intelligence Department of the Empire, he initially failed to recall the name of the Dakshin Bharatiya Empire. It was only after Johann Matthias Wolkenstein, the prime minister of the empire and president of the aulic council, reminded him that he eventually recollected it. Unfortunately, the Roman Empire held little interest in that part of the world, aside from some trade; they possessed no territorial or diplomatic interest.
